•• The Hong Kong Bay ••

|| The sun shines on the city and reflexes
from the sun collide against the skyscrapers,
The boats pass through the bay of Hong Kong
this beautiful day in October ||

• The Clock Tower is a landmark in Hong Kong. It is located on the southern shore of Tsim
Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It is the only remnant of the original site of the former Kowloon Station
on the Kowloon-Canton Railway. Officially named Former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower ,
it is usually referred to as the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower  for its location •



• Built out of red bricks and granite, the Clock Tower peaks at 44 metres, and is topped by a 7-metre
lightning rod. The top of the tower can be reached by a wooden staircase located within. The interior of
Clock Tower had previously been open for visit, but is currently closed for maintenance. The clock tower
is located near Victoria Harbour at the foot of Salisbury Road. Another landmark, the Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier,
is located nearby •

|| The tower has been listed as a declared monument in Hong Kong since 1990 ||



• The plan of Kowloon-Canton Railway was realised in 1904 with its terminus in Tsim Sha Tsui.
The railway was inaugurated on 1 October 1910; however, construction of the station did not
begin until 1913. Because of World War I, the British materials required for the construction
could not be shipped on time, and construction was halted for some time. The part of the station,
together with Clock Tower, was completed in 1915, and the whole station 28 March 1916 •

• The Clock Tower reused the clock from the demolished Pedder Street Clock Tower. However,
only one side had a clock, and it was not until 1920 that the remaining three sides of the Clock Tower
were installed. They began operation in the afternoon of 22 March 1921, and have run ever since except
during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during World War II •

~ Kowloon refers to an urban area in Hong Kong made up of Kowloon Peninsula and New Kowloon,
bordered by the Lei Yue Mun strait in the east, Mei Foo Sun Chuen and Stonecutter's Island in the west,
Tate's Cairn and Lion Rock in the north, and Victoria Harbour in the south. It had a population of 2,019,533
and its population density was 43,033/km² in 2006. Kowloon is located north of Hong Kong Island and south
of the mainland part of the New Territories. The peninsula's area is approximately 47 km² or 18.1 mi².
Together with Hong Kong Island, it contains 48% of Hong Kong's total population ~






~ The more accurate transcription Kau Lung or Kau-lung was often used in derived
place names before World War II, for example Kau-lung Bay instead of Kowloon Bay ~

Did you make those overhanging street signs? They look great; I actually made a similar set-up myself about two weeks ago. I just made a set of transit enabled lots and added overhanging signs to them, but it's a pity that they always get cut off by the other models though.
Very nice update, it really resembles Kowloon well, the only thing that's missing is the peninsular hotel... one of us needs to make that!  Great job!
